In America there's no rights for the artist, so whatever films I've made kind of belong to the studio.

I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.

Every generation deals with the breaking down of its tradition, and I think that they rediscovered the film.

A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long. You can't talk to them. It's Method and the whole thing.

I mean they're making remakes of my films and I'm not even dead yet! Why would you want to make a remake?

I work with a lot of movie stars.

When you deal with a film that takes place in Europe, and you're going to work in English, you'd better work with European actors.
